All those who claim to be Siyins are relatives. They have a single progenitor in Thuantak (Suantak) who founded the first settlement in the Siyin Valley. Suantak’s brothers are the descendants of the same Zo Mi people who founded settlements further north. The other elder brothers were Tohin and Seaktak. Their father was Zahong who was the youngest son of Sungmang. [Page 22]

“We have called ourselves Zo Mi (Zo Man) from time immemorial. Mi means MAN. Cimnuai near Saizang and Thuantak near Khuasak are still rememberd as the first settlements of the Zo Mi people.” [Page 211]

It lies in the eastern part of the Siyin Valley and in the Khuasak tribal area. He was the youngest son of Pu Zahong. He had three sons, Tohin, Seaktak and Thuantak. The descendants of Tohin and Seaktak migrated to the northern Chin Hills; they remember Thuantak as Suantak, the accent of the Zo dialect becoming slightly different as one moves further from place to place.” (Page 216)
